After a house fire in March, I'm now raising three children under 5 on my own. I work as a school kitchen assistant, but my income doesn't cover rent, childcare and groceries. I'm retraining as a web developer in the evenings, which will triple my income by May, but I need to bridge the gap until then. Some weeks I skip meals so my children can eat. I have never asked anyone for help like this before, and I'm doing it for them. Once I finish my course, I'll pay it forward. Money goes toward rent, groceries, after-school care and the cost of my course. I'll give a monthly update with receipts. Where the $750 goes: • Course fees and exam costs: $105 • Childcare and after-school care: $230 • Rent top-up: $415 Thank you for reading my story. - Victor

Updates from Victor

  1. Update from Manila: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($36 in total) I made the first payment toward rent top-up. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. We're at 1% thanks to 1 of you. I met with the landlord and confirmed the amounts. More news soon. - Victor

    Take care, Victor. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care

      Stay strong, Victor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
